Live in a loving family
After sending Lan Yue off, on the way back to Jinshu City.
"Yueyue, aren't you carsick? Why are you always looking at your phone?"
"Oh, I'm not sure if the hotel I booked is for the days I have my exams. I'll have to check again."
It has to be said that Qi Yue not only suffers from paranoid delusions, but also has severe self-doubt and always feels that he has forgotten something.
That night, Yi Shiwu looked at his cell phone repeatedly before going to bed.
"Hello, I want to book a room for 21 nights, but I see online that it's fully booked."
"Yes, all our rooms are sold out online."
"Can I make a reservation by phone?"
"Sure, leave your phone number and name and I'll reserve a room for you. There's no discount these days, so I'll charge the original price."
"Okay, no problem."
Not being allowed to go before the exam does not mean you cannot go after the exam. The profoundness of language still needs to be developed by humans.
Because I like you, I don’t want to miss every moment of your life. I want to witness it, I want to be there in person, and I want to be with you.
On New Year's Day, Qiyue and her mother went to her uncle's house, and Yi Shiwu returned to his parents. Both families couldn't wait to meet the new family members, but Qiyue and Shiwu were still mysterious, as if they wanted to hide each other temporarily.
After New Year's Day, it will be the Spring Festival in more than a month. This time of year is the time when July is lonely.
During the Spring Festival, she was either at her aunt's house or at her uncle's house. But this year, Lan's mother decided not to go anywhere and stay at her own home, at Jinshu City, the home that belongs to the mother and daughter.
"Mom, here." Hearing Qi Yue's shout, Yi Shiwu also looked in the direction. The moment he saw Qi Yunyi, he promptly took the package from Lan's mother's hand.
"Aunt Yun, long time no see."
"Little boy, handsome again."
Yi Shiwu felt a little embarrassed by what Lan's mother said. After all, this was just the way the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and she liked him the most.
"Oh, Mom, look at your daughter, isn't she beautiful again?"
Qi Yunyi looked at her daughter who wanted to act coquettishly with her, and it seemed as if she was back in the past, and her daughter who loved to cry, make noise and laugh was back again.
"My daughter has always been beautiful."
Looking at the backs of the mother and daughter, Yi Shiwu, who was carrying the bag, also felt particularly warm.
"Auntie Yun, you should take a good rest at home. Yueyue and I will go to the supermarket to buy some more things."
"Hey, there's no need to buy any more. Look at the cabinets and baskets, not to mention the refrigerator. They're all packed to the brim. How can we eat so much during Chinese New Year?"
Knowing that his future mother-in-law was coming to Jinshucheng to celebrate the New Year, Yi Shiwu wanted to move the supermarket back, not only from his own home, but also from Xingkong, for fear that his mother-in-law would not have enough to eat.
"Auntie Yun, this is our house key. I'll tie it to your key."
As soon as the words were spoken, Lan's mother was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of the words for a moment.
"Oh, Auntie, don't get me wrong, I am..."
Before Yi Shiwu finished speaking, Lan's mother smiled with satisfaction and handed her key to Yi Shiwu.
It turns out that getting married is not an easy thing. It is really stressful to face the mother-in-law. It seems that it is an eternal truth that you can only get a wife if you can deal with the mother-in-law.
"Fifteen, I'll make two dishes of your choice. Seeing how well you take care of Yueyue, I'm relieved."
"Auntie, I've reserved a table at Starry Sky, let's go out and eat."
"No, let's go tomorrow. Today is Xiaonian. Auntie will cook for you and we can have a good meal at home as a family."
After understanding what Lan's mother meant, Yi Shiwu did not refuse. After all, he was now a member of the family. After the Little New Year, it would be the New Year, and the family had to eat together at home.
After a simple tidy up, Qiyue and Shiwu set off for the supermarket. Seeing the two children quarreling and going to the door to change clothes and put on shoes, Lan's mother's eyes were a little red.
"If you were still here, you would be so happy to see this scene."
Unfortunately, there is no if. Eight out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. Sometimes imperfections are also a kind of beauty.
"Yueyue, please let me stay for the Spring Festival. My mother said that a son who is married off is like spilled water."
"No, you are the only son in the family. How can you not go home for the New Year?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. We're all new humans, so how can we stick to the rules?"
"We can be unconventional, but that doesn't mean we're impolite. I'm dominating you every day even before we're married. Do you want me to be labeled an unfilial daughter-in-law in the future?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, okay? You give yourself a pretty grand title."
"Listen to me, it's right."
Qi Yue is not a person who sticks to the rules, nor is she a stubborn person, but the traditional filial piety is still deeply rooted in her heart. They are all the treasures of their parents, so why should they favor one over the other?
"I can't completely put your parents first in your heart, so naturally I can't ask you to put my parents first. Love is not possession, nor is it dedication. It's about meeting you among thousands of people and becoming better for each other."
At dinner, Lan's mother prepared a table full of dishes. Now when Qi Yunyi saw Yi Shiwu, she was just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
It turns out that waiting will never be in vain. Love can be acted out, but habit cannot be acted out.
Throughout the dinner, Qiyue did not dirty her hands. The shrimps were peeled by Shiwu, the pig's trotters were picked until they were soft and rotten, the fat was put into Shiwu's bowl, and the chopped green onions were also picked out.
"Fifteen, you should eat too. Don't always give it to Yueyue. How about trying the braised pork made by Auntie?"
After saying that, he picked up a piece of fat and meat and put it in Yi Shiwu's bowl. Yi Shiwu didn't even look at it. He bit off the fat and ate it into his stomach, and then put the lean part into Qi Yue's bowl.
In just two months, I have developed muscle memory. It seems that there will really be a wedding in my family this time.
After dinner, Yi Shiwu insisted on washing the dishes, saying that in his family, it was always his father who washed the dishes.
After his daughter tidied the table naturally, she stood in the kitchen and looked at Yi Shiwu without helping. Every time Yi Shiwu took a step, Qi Yue also took a step.
My daughter has this habit. She has been like this since she was a child. She loves to follow me and Father Lan like a follower. In the blink of an eye, the follower is growing up.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll go home first. Let's go to Xingkong for dinner tomorrow night. I'll welcome you."
"Okay." Lan's mother smiled kindly.
After chatting about family matters, the mother and daughter returned to the room. Qiyue huddled together with her mother just like when she was a child. Moments like these always made Qiyue feel safe. No wonder everyone said that falling asleep next to one's mother was better than any healing.
The day before Chinese New Year, Qiyue and Yi Shiwu went to the mall to choose some gifts for Yi's father and mother. They couldn't go empty-handed on their first visit.
At Yi Shiwu's home, Yi's mother got up early in the morning and began to prepare everything for dinner, and urged her husband to go buy groceries. It was obvious that she valued this future daughter-in-law very much.
"Fifteen, tell me, is what I'm wearing today okay? Does it not suit me well?"
Qi Yue once again spun in circles in front of Yi Shiwu.
At that time, I pretended to look at it carefully and pondered for a while.
"It's a little inappropriate." These words scared Qi Yue so much that she quickly looked at the reflection in the shopping mall's glass and then at her clothes.
"Some of them are too beautiful." After hearing this, Qi Yue slapped the other person back, expressing her dissatisfaction with the other person's teasing towards her.
"I'm already so nervous, and you're still teasing me."
"Ugly daughter-in-law, you have to meet your parents-in-law eventually. Why are you not used to it?"
"Isn't this my first time? I've never experienced this before, so I feel scared."
People are always confused and fearful about the unknown, and then fall into internal friction and entanglement. Later, they will find that the worry is unnecessary and the tension is unnecessary, because no matter how sad you are, there is a time limit.
If you feel sad today, just wait for tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, everything will be fine.
Qi Yue suddenly realized that she had been busy and confused in the past year since she came back, and it seemed that she had not met the people she wanted to see. It was time to get together after the Spring Festival.
Standing downstairs of Yi's house, Qi Yue looked at her makeup again in the elevator.
Seeing Qi Yue's nervousness, Yi Shiwu held Qi Yue's hand tightly.
Boom boom boom
"It's Yueyue, come in quickly, Auntie has been talking about you for a long time."
"Uncle, hello, I'm Lan Qiyue."
"Yueyue is here?" Lan's mother heard the voice and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hello, Auntie, sorry to bother you."
"Don't disturb, don't disturb, come in."
"Auntie, this is a gift for you and uncle."
"This child, just come and bring whatever gifts, they are all our own children."
Yi's mother took Qi Yue's hand and walked towards the living room. Yi's father followed closely behind, completely forgetting that he had a son.
Yi Shiwu stood there in a daze and could only follow behind in dejection.
"Yueyue, you must be tired. Let's eat soon. I heard that you like chicken wings, so I asked your uncle to make several flavors today."
"Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Yi's mother held Qi Yue's hand and never let go. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Sometimes, liking each other is very important.
Just when Yi's mother was about to speak, Yi Shiwu pulled Qi Yue's hand out and put it in his own hand. Seeing this scene, Yi's mother complained about her son in a bad mood.
"You look at me every day, but you can't let me see my daughter-in-law!"
When Qi Yue heard the word "daughter-in-law", her face suddenly turned red. After all, it was her first time visiting, and she didn't expect such a straightforward conversation.
"Yueyue, I'm telling you, from now on you will be my and your uncle's daughter. If Shiwu bullies you, tell me and I will remove him from the family."
Yi Shiwu acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to hold Qi Yue's hand tightly, as if to say that it didn't matter whether he was expelled or not, as they had already found another safe haven anyway.
Looking at the warm scene in front of him, Qi Yue understood why Yi Shiwu, who was so handsome and talented, had such a good character. It turned out that he, like herself, lived in a loving family, loved his parents, and cared for his family. Because of this, no matter how big the storm was, we would not lose our way.
Love is our confidence, our support, and our bargaining chip for turning the tide in the future.
